pal otiicers in April This presents a
bill of fare suilicicu ~ varicd-one
would think to suit the eXactiug
appetite Of the vericst political cpl.
cure on earth. But il is not enough,
it would seem. The whole question
OF prohibition is to be fought over in
the choice of delegates to the state
convention. 1t is determined by the
ultra i.prohibItio Iist7 that the
mischieYous twelfth plank is 20 be
expunged, while the prohibitiouists
are equally determined that it shall
remain in waiting for the
next chance, shorld that ever
come along Here is "a pretty kettle
of political fish as ever witches
danced about Here l. womb filled
With family of political discordauts
sufficient to destroy the harmony OF
the world, and we Texans have greed
lily appropriated the whole OF it, 1t
i, immense. For this next cam paign
IhE HAMMER has no oil to pour.
1t will want to see tho battle fought
out to the bitter end; see these mat
tiers settled definitely and Tor all
time to come. The line, will be
drawn in the primaries aud theques-
ton rs to whether there are more pro
than anti democratic in Texas viii. be
settled " hen the roll is called by the
next democratic convention.
The complexion Of the legislature
will show if coke has lost any of his
old time popularity, honestly aud fair
won by services of the highest worth
to The state on many occasions when
her veal was at stake. We are OF
those who firmly believe the old lto-
man will stand up after the struggle
IL over with another and taller feath-
or in his cap, his broad brows enclr-
clcd with u newer aud greener
circle of laurels We do not 20 back
on such men in this country. Such a
| record as Coke has made binds him to
the people and the people to him as
with hooks of steal. Glorious old
Roger q, will 20 back to his duties in
congress with bigger majority be-
hind HIM than ever before, aud Ross,
our own peerless, brave and accom-
plished governor VILLAS. Ain be usani>
imously nominated and re elected by
a larger majority than that of last
year Who can doubt i'll either Ut
these cases? DO not all the pOrtcnts
show it, and that plainly; The pro-
hibitionists will fight brayely, but the
great mass of those who fought for
the amendment will be found In he
rank of the earnest and faithful dem-
ocracy dreaming only of full and
complete democratic success, not only
in our own Texas field, but out on
the broader and more important field
of national action, We rely upon
this consideration alone to unite
every true democrat of all schools,
Old new, anti and pro. ii
the battle is TO be between Cleveland
and any one of the protection ccow
or between any low tariff democrat
and high tarill or prohibition repub-
lican, we want to see Texas the banner
democratic state speak with one
voice for the old pure and untarnish
ed party faith, for clean government
ana against Inc lsilS, Inc lahaGclslns
aud all manner and shapes of class
policy.
In order to accomplish Nil this
there are many ultras on both sides,
pro and anti, who will have to give
up little, make some sort and char
acter of sacrifice tor the general good
of the party which all are equally in
terested in maintaining in its victo-
rious and benefccnt career. Let the
good men OF the democracy get them
selves in readiness to meet this certain
demand, and let us send no divided
delegations TO either the state or ma
tional democratic convention.
